Long, Short, Heavy and Thin.

A Washington letter to the Boston
Traueler says The smallest man in Con-
gress is General Wheeler, of Alabama.
Wheeler is little fellow with a long,
gray beard and hair that falls down al
most to his shoulders. He was one of the
bravest officers on the Confederate side
of ''the late unpleasantness," and at one
time commanded the entire cavalry Of
the South The tallest man in Congress
is Stewart, of Texas, member of the
House. He measures fully six feet three,
and weighs about $50 pounds. Stewart
is brilliant and accomplished lawyer.
of whom great things were expected
when he first came to Congress. AS soon
as he fairly landed in his seat, however,
he bored down into the centre of big
chunk of silence, and with the exception
of his work in committee he has taken
no active part in the deliberations of the
House. Stewart is the long. Wheeler the
short. Barnes the heavy, and Senator
Ingalls, the thin in Congress.

Do Birds Fly Down?

I see, in back number of ST. Nicho-
1as that one of your young correspond
ents appeals partly to me in regard to
birds flying down. Tut al who have
written seem so well posted that doubt
if I can add anything to their knowl.
edge
However, I have seen q California
quail. a od-dove, and a humming-
bird fly downward; but in slow-fyers,
with large wings and heaIy bodies, the
wings are used more or less as parachutcs
in going down; in other words, the
birds spread their wings, and rely
upon gravity. This l have noticed in
the sand-hill cranes in their migrations
along tie Sierra Madres. A flock, of say
hundl ed, will mount upward in beau.
tiful spiral. flashing in the sunlight, all
the while uttering loud, discordant
notes, until they attain an attitude of
nearly mile above the sca.level. Then
they form in regular lines, and soar away
at an angle that in five miles, or so, will
bring them within one thousand feet of
the earth. Then they will stop and be-
gin the spiral upward movement again
until high elevation is reached, when,
away they go again 81 ding downhill in
the air, toward their winter home. 1t is
very evident that vast amount OF mus
cular excrtion is saved in this way. In
some OF these slides that I have watched
through glass. birds would pass from
three to four miles. I hould Judge, with
out tapping t! wings.-C. f. Holder IN

The Worlds Rulers.

A European paper figures that The
Christian and monarchical world counts
among its combined reigning families 4OS
princes. If the female contingent was
taken into account, this figure would al
most be doubled. The most fourishing
dynasty is that of Holstein, which holds
the throne of Russia, Denmark, Greece
and Oldcuburg, and numbers tifty-three
prin es, including twenty-five grand
dukes, two kings and an emperor Next
to it is the House of Stettin, uniting the
ROYAL crowns of Saxony, Great Britain,
Portugal and Belgium, besides the ducal
and grand ducal scepters of Wcimar, AL
tenburg, Coburg Gotha and Meiningen.
The Bourbons. with their forty-seven
princes, have held Sicily, Parma and
Spain. More numerous than the Hohcn-
Zollelns, the Hesses and the house Of Sa-
voy are the imperial Hapsburg- Lorraine,
with their thirty three archdukes, and
the old race of Wittelsba h, numbering
twenty-three princes of or in Bavaria. a
distinction to which great Importance is
attached. The once reigning families
mediatized 81 ce the Congress in Vienna
in 1915 are represented by i2i princes,
and these have retained but a small por-
ton OF their privileges. The Hapsburgs
snd the Wittelsbachs are closely allied,
not merely because they both belong to
the Teutonic race and flourish on the same
German soil. but because for many years
and generations thy have constantly in
tcr-married. The lovely Empress Eli a.
beth of Austria is the daughter of Duke
Mayimlian Of Bavaria. and her daughter
Lisela is the wife of Prince Leopold,
cousin of tn" rcsent Ming and nephew
of the Re. cnt.

OAKEY HALL contributed an article
10 o recent number of the Pail Mall
Gazette on London tramways, in which
he gave picture of the alleged clumsy
tram-car first introduced in the great
metropolis quarter of century ago.
In this he did injustice to George Fran
els Train, the man who introduced
street-railways in Europe. The first
street-car run on a London tramway
was built in 1859 for Mr.. Train by
Stevenson in New York. 1t cost l.5OO,
and was constructed and eq'ipped in
the style of those now seen on Broad
way. The big double-decked cars in
London are limitations of omnibuses,
and are purely British invention.

Useful Hints,

POLISH FOR LEATHER CUSHIONS,
Erc.-Beat well the yolks of two eggs
and the white of one; mix tablespoon
full of gin and teaspoonful of sugar;
thicken it with ivory black, add it TO
the eggs, and use as common backing,
the seats or cushions being left day or
two to harden. This is good for dress
ing boots and shoes.
TlME-TABLE FOR Billing VEGETA-
BLEs.-Potatoes, half all hour, unless
small, when rather less. Cabbage and
caulifower, twenty-five minutes to half
an hour. Carrots and turnips, forty-live
minutes when young, one hour in winter.
Beets. one hour in summer, one hour
and half, or even two hours, if large,
in winter. Onions, medium size, one
hour.
To STARCH LINEN.-To do up shirts
take two tablcspoonfuls of starch and
one teaspoon even full of powdered
borax, and dissolve in one and one-half
cups of cold water. The shirts must not
be previously starched, and they must be
perfectly dry. Dip the cuffs, collars,
bosoms and neck bands in the starch,
then roll up tight in a dry cloth, and let
them lie two hours. Then rub off and
iron. They will be like pasteboard and
have nice gloss
REMOVING STAINS FROM MARBLE
To remove stains from marble, first take
of soda two arts, powdered pumice
stone one part and powdered chalk one
part Rub these ingredients well togeth-
er in mortar, sift through fine sieve,
and mix the powder obtained into
paste with water; rub them all over the
marble, and wash with soap and water.
Or mix strong soap lees with quicklime
to the consistency of thin cream; spread
the mixture over the marble, and after
the lapse of twenty four hours wash with
soap and water. This will remove stains
and restore the color.

Taking on Warts.

E. L. Akehurst stepped into John Fl.
Shechan " Co.. store the other day and
was waited upon by H. c. Hart, one OF
the cl,rks. While Mr.. Akchurst was
picking out change to pay his bill from
a quantity of money that he had scat
tered on the top OF a showcase, Mr.. Hart
remarked
Il see that you have one or two large
warts. Brother Akehurst."
Yes, have had them since child
hood"
"Why don't you get rid Of theml" was
the next remark.
"How can that be done3" said Mr.. Axe
hurst
Easily enough, 'said Mr.. Hart. 'Run
up the stairs to Joe Monroe the other
clerk. in the third story, and he will
talk them off,"
Talk them off," said Mr.. Akehurst,
in astonishment.
"tcrtainly; you 60 up and I'll. tell
him through the speaking tube that you
are coming" said Mr.. Hart.
Mr.. Akehurst went up into the third
story. Good morning, DR.. Monroe, /"
said he to the druggist. "Alr. Hart
sent me up to have my warts talked otf. !"
"All ri ght, said DR.. Joe, "1'll do it !"
He took hold of Mr.. Akehurst's hand,
looked at large seed wart, put his fin
gers on it, looked Mr.. Akehurst in the
face, and as the latter remarked after
ward: "We talked and laughed and
laughed and talked like couple of
Youngsters for few minutes" Then
DR.. Monroe dropped Mr.. Akehurst's
hand and said:
That wart won't bother you much
longer"
No fee was charged, and, after thank
ing Mr.. Monroe, Mr. Akchurst left the
store. and in the rush of the holiday
trade he forgot the incident that amused
him for day. One evening, within a
week, he looked at the hand where the
wart had been located and found that it
had wholly disappeared, and the second
one had decrea. ed in size materially. A
representative of the Obserrer saw the
mark on the spot where the wart was To-
Gated. 1t looked like scar resulting
from light burn.
Mr.. Monroe was interviewed. and on
being asked how he operated he smiled
and said: There is no operation about IT;
| Just felt of the wart and talked it of.

"Foot. reading is the latest notion, the

The motion" is not very ''latc.' For
years the characters OF fathers of mar

demonstrative, the young man who is
fond of the daughter of the man who
swings it knows right away that the
